Techbits are a brain child of Greg Hess, who initially started them on the Discreet Forum, then moved them here to a permanent home;
they are gathered, (chewed up) and processed by Greg Hess and Thomas Bruno, an all around good guys, hardware experts and
3DLuVr staff/contributing authors.

When two pimps collide. Tualatin vs Pentium 4. The Dual Wars. It seems that some engineers showcased a dual T system, and it completely annilated the Dual 1.7 Xeon system. (There are no dual Tualatin systems planned EVER) Intel continues to shoot themselves in the foot with the Pathetium 4.

Via has announced a DDR P4 Platform for Mid August. With DDR being substaintally cheaper and faster then rambus, this may give the pentium IV a much needed boost to its expensive word processing and web surfing abilities.

Remember that the power supply is a CRUCIAL component to your new computer and don't waste money on a half assed one. Here's a list of recommended AMD power supplies.
